I am publishing, for non-profit use, a collection of spiritual poems that have been favorites by people that have done the spiritual exercises of saint ignatius. .

I am trying to find the book and publisher of a poem by charles de foucald. CAN ANYONE HELP WITH THE BOOK TITLE?

The poem title and contents below 1000 character limit are as follows: Loneliness and Solitude

Jesus speaks: I tried to save men by word and by works of mercy. Before, in my life at Nazareth, I was content to save them by prayer and penance Now, I show my zeal for souls publicly. But though my life became more active, it was partly solitary and was always a life of reflection.
Often I went into the solitude apart, at night or for days together, to pray alone. Except for the time devoted to preaching the Gospel, mine was a life of solitude.
It was a life of fatigue, long journeys, and long sermons;
Venerable Charles De Foucauld
